Is there still access to your older iOS7 Objective-C courses that you guys made free a few years back?

Not sure why you decided to included the secondColumn (above) in the last line as it throws an error

How would you separate currentValue and doubleFromCurrentValue, so we can understand? You're not including the notes at the bottom of the videos anymore?

What if you want the pickerData to be pictures instead? So instead of scrolling through possible text that's populated into selectionLabel, you'd populate it with an array of photos that are scrolled through?

Holy crud, after like the third time watching it, I"m finally (sort of) getting it! :D

I notice after clicking on the convertedButtonTapped button, I wanted to just clear out the results and start fresh without having to reboot simulator, how would you go about doing that? I just want to enter a nil value and have the app continue running without any interruptions. How would I begin to figure that out.. trying to google it,but I"m not getting back relevant results.

Gotta say that this past week has been bit of a slog for me.. the optionals (although important) were so difficult for me to get through.. I could not stay engaged long enough and had to re-watch it. No fault of your own though.. haha

Just some general feedback, I notice I get booted out after 3 or 4 videos and I'm forced to log in again, and it's kind of annoying. I'm using Chrome Version 45.0.2454.99 (64-bit)

Re: A Vibrant Startup Ecosystem Needs a Stream of Activities, Not Just a Burst of Events

Will — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:21:34 -0000

Interesting thoughts, but requires a higher level of collaboration from event organizers themselves. I'm going out on a limb that most organizers (the super focused/educational ones anyway) don't think at that level and just want to host a meetup that's beneficial for their community whether it's Analytics, Design, Docker, Android, Python, Ruby etc. They're not looking at the bigger picture, selfishly looking at their own interests.

Being an event organizer newbie myself and curating the digest, I understand the number of events at any given time in Toronto. My first thought was to pick a date that wasn't drowned out by noise (bigger / more established events) and choosing a niche (Swift developers, not "iOS" (Obj-C) developers) that is inclusive to all skill levels. I'm pulling favours to invite some of the best iOS developers in Toronto to speak, and leveraging the fuck out of the digest and other tech sites for exposure/distribution :)

There is a wriggle of hope in that some events while not competing (such as DevTO and Hackernest) accomodate each other by timing so that they're not cannibalizing each other's audiences. There's even some consolidation as well, Javascript Hack Night and Toronto Javascript folding into one.

It'll get better, sooner or later. I can feel it.

was always puzzled why they would use println vs simply print.. I think they borrowed it from another language?

Hey Sean! Thanks for taking the time to comment! I haven't taken the opportunity to take a look at Curated's offering, mainly because it starts at a $25 price point and I wanted something lightweight, which Goodbits is. I know that Hiten Shah uses it along with the founder of Curated and iOS Dev Weekly, Dave Verwer. Design wise, upon first glance, it looks more "polished", but that's all I can say about comparing the two

Re: Bitfountain: The Complete iOS 8 Course First Impressions

Will — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 13:29:23 -0000

Really depends on how much you have on your plate. I'm still working on the iOS course because I got side tracked with some pretty important stuff at work and as such had to re-allocate my time. However, ASSUMING you're a student and have no obligations on your time, you can breeze through it in about 2-3 months if you have the dedication and discipline to continually work away at the course and abstract / absorb lessons.

If you're working, you'll need to cut back and sacrifice other things such as going out/socializing for a few months.

Much like how Eliot had mentioned.. it's better to focus on the "longer time view" because you can't speed this up.

I know for a fact I have a much longer way to go, but that's okay, because I'm naturally interested and want to ship some stuff on my own eventually.
